Black and white postcard from approximately 1919, showing the bridge to Second Island and the Island House Hotel, part of the Seven Islands Resort on the Grand River in Grand Ledge, Michigan. The resort, which changed hands three times, was significantly built up in the late 1880s and early 1890s by the third owner J. S. Mudge, who added on to the Island House Hotel (seen in this image), built a rollercoaster and constructed "Mudge's Folly" - a decorative pagoda-like building which became an iconic building for the area. The resort came to be one of the most popular vacation spots in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
